Problem: quality check says "Please enter a year in the range 1720-2023", even though the dates are all before that.

First thing's first. You don't index the parents of the husband or wife, nor do you index the spouses of the children.

For the dates in the 1600s, you'll have to leave those blank in order for the system to accept it. The researcher will be able to see that when they pull up the document.

You do index everyone on the record.

On the 4th example they show how to index a "son in law" and the drop down has almost every possible relationship that could exist. Each of the examples has a slightly different instruction, but, they all note to index every name on the record with the only exception being not to index from the line of other husbands or wives. You would not create the 8th record for Michael Foley since on the example they do not index information on the child's "Other Marriage" from that box on the form.

On your batch, you can index the relationship of the daughter's spouse as "son-in-law" based on the example. Notice, we can do this since we know that was a daughter and based on the time of the marriage, it would have been a female-male marriage.
